Welcome! Buy yourself a Scan Gage or an Ultra Guage for the Hyundai, and you'll rediscover the mag potential of the shift tonic and a turbo that spools-up in a low rim band. With those capabilities I would not be surprised if the "DWL" (driving with load) technique yields you bigger number driving around town. Also, shifting that car into the highest gear possible around town, cruising those flats in fifth gear, will pay too. The low price s are amazing. I rented a non-turbo edition of this car a couple years ago for a week. liked it a lot.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
